That would not be economical. Lets just say people never use more than
8-tuple and then try to count how many functions you would need.
The "tuple" package on Haskell provides a generic interface to
access/manipulate the k'th element of an n-tuple. That should be
sufficient and is not subject to combinatorical explosion (well the
instance are a bit).
